We had the best experience with Checker movers. From the the first contact, they were helpful and so kind. The movers themselves were so efficient, we barely had time to enjoy a coffee before they arrived at our new home to unload. They even managed to get what we had deemed a last attempt, sofa in our basement. We had accepted the walls would probably have some damage. Well, there was not even a scratch! I chatted a bit with the gentleman and it was nice to hear them say "We love our job." I highly recommend them.

We had a wonderful experience using Checker Movers this week! Neil and the crew showed up on time, were friendly, careful with our possessions and managed to move us from a 3 bedroom home in the city to our new home in the country in only 6 hours! We were grateful that Checkers was recommended by our realtor! The move ended up costing less than we had expected too!! I highly recommend Checkers if you are looking for an affordable and reliable moving company!

Fast, efficient but not careless with our furniture. Nothing got damaged. We had a lot to move so two trips had to be made (this was not due to Checkers fault of underestimating… but ours) and they still finished in the estimated time given. They hooked up my washer, put beds back together that they could. The pre move contact was amazing as well. Helpful checklists were sent to remind us what we needed to do before the
